      The symlink representation is slightly ambiguous, so not necessarily
very useful.
Additionally, it made directory-flat bundles differ from a non-recursive
'git clone' checkout, which confuses Guix and potentially other tools.

We may revisit this in the future, eg. by adding a dotfile in the
directory or metadata at the root.
